По мотивам библейской притчи | ||
"Footprints in the Sand ", Mary Stevenson, 1936
One night I dreamed
I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life
Flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were
Two sets of footprints,
Other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that
During the low periods of my life,
When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord, that if I followed you,
You would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying
periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen
only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."
